GAINESVILLE, TEX, June 16.-Informa-
tior has been received here that great
dissatisfaction exists among the citizens
of the ChiCkasaw nation in the Indian
Territory concerning the action of Gov
ernor Guy in allowing the Gulf, Colorado
snd Santa Fe Railwag to get ties in the
Territory. II is said that the Council re-
fused to let the railway company have
ties at 90 cents each, and that, notHith-
standing the action on the part of the
legislative body of the Chickasaws, the
| Governor allowed the company 20 cut
them for 10 cents each. The ChickaseW
people claim that their forests hsve been
very greatly damaged, and there is some
ia of instituting impeachment proceed
ings against Governor Guy.
About 9 O'Clock last night the paint
shop of John Salisbury on South Rusk
street was discovered to be on fire. The
! fire laddies were quickly on hand. and
! by great and rapid exertions the flames
were soon subdued. Had the fire been
discovered twenty minutes later,
g disastrous confagration would have
resulted. At frs. it was sup
posed that the damage caused
| by the fire was slight, but later de-
velopment show that it will probably ex-
coed $500. The insurance was S675 in
the Pelican of New Orleans. All the in
dications tend to prove thet the fire was
the work of an inCendisry as three men
saw man come out of the side door of
the establishment, run up the alley be-
tween the paintshop and Horns livery
stable, and then down Rusk street. He
was pursued, but distanced those follow
ing him, and was lost in the darkness.
